Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email.
It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Mountain Safety properly, at the FUPSB.

I wonder if anyone would be up for some proper mountain safety training at the 2nd PSB week? (8-15 Dec in Tignes)

I believe I can procure the services of a specialist BASI trainer in mountain safety for all or part of that week.
The format and level of course would depend upon who was interested in joining but we're talking a whole level or 6 up in seriousness from anything we've done before.
Proper BASI courses tend to be for around 10 people and last 5 days. We tend rather to run groups of up to 6 and would typically run a course over 3 days. There are pros and cons either way and I'm happy to be guided by what people want.

I'm thinking, anyone training towards instructor levels or seriously into their off-piste/back-country would stand to benefit from this.
